All teachers must provide equal access to the digital world to all learners.

Personally I feel that we can provide the students with equal access to the digital world by writing grants, as someone mentioned in class last night.  This would give the students the access to the digital world while they are in school but the question that I think arises is, how will you ensure that the student's will have access to the digital world when they are outside of school?  You could just give the students homework that would not require the use of technology but I personally feel the purpose of homework is to reinforce what you learned at school so you'd want the students to be using technology at home to complete an assignment if they were using technology in the classroom.  Whatever the technology is that the student is using at school and needs to bring home to complete homework maybe could be signed out so the students could then have access to the materials outside of school.  I understand that the students could forget to bring the materials back to school or it could possible get broken at the student's home.  Some students may have the technology they need to complete their assignments outside of school.  Other's may go to a local library to use a computer if that is the technology they are in need of outside of the classroom.  All library's are required to have internet access now a days. 


This statement was really hard to give a definite yes or no answer to.  I had to really think about how I would provide the digital world to all learners equally, which is no easy task.
